How do they upscale and improve video quality of old movies and make them into full hd?

the equivalent resolution of film is more than that of your typical display, and that any digital camera is capable of.

there is no upscaling of film, and there is no such thing as scanning a film negative to 5x blu ray resolution.

if the quality of film used, and the condition of the film itself are still excellent, theres no reason for an old movie to not look as good as a new movie. (apart from filters, special effects etc) while older movies dont seem to have as much depth as a newer movie, the quality of older movies can look pretty much the same as movies of today.

The Wizard Of Oz in the special features talks about how they scanned the original film in at 8k or 4k resolution.

the equivalent resolution of the original film is more than 8k. you will not have a film upscaled to suit digital media, as there is no digital medium of producing a greater image quality than that of film. just because they scanned it in at 8k or whatever, doesn't mean it was of a lesser resolution to begin with. what have we learned about upscaling to hd this generation? that it looks no where near as good as the source material.
